Course: the Principles of Good Audio Editing (SADiE)

This half-day workshop is designed for people interested in editing audio with a view to making reports, features and programmes, or creating podcasts.

The system you’ll be using is SADiE version 6, and the course will include basic operation, a software overview, speech editing, levels and fades, feature mixing basics, mastering levels for web and radio, bouncing and transfer, file management.
